Shai Linne - Greatest Story Ever Told (w/ Lyrics)

Lyrics:

Alright check it: lets go back in time, brethren. Divine lessons always keep your mind guessing. The glory of the Triune God is what Im stressing. The origin of humankind was fine. Blessings were plenteous. God is amazingly generous. Crazy benefits in a state of innocence. God told the man what he could taste was limited. Not long after came our nemesis in Genesis. He scammed well, man fell, damned to hell. The whole human race—he represented it. Fooled by the serpent, man through his work, woman through birth—even the earth ruled by the curses. But instead of a wake immediately. God said her Seed would be the One to crush the head of the snake. Yo, wait what is this? Whoa, a gracious gift! In Jehovahs faithfulness He clothed their nakedness. This was so they would know their Saviors kiss and bliss. But first, many growing pains exist suffering in the worst form, ugly deeds. Eves firstborn seed made his brother bleed. Indeed things got progressively worse. Every section of the earth is been affected by the curse. And though Gods judgments against sin were gory, praise the Lord! Its not the end of the story.

Next scene: mans sin was extreme. God gets steamed, man gets creamed. The Lord is so Holy that He drowned them in the water. Fire in the valley of slaughter Sodom and Gomorrah. But at the same time, Hes so gracious and patient that from one man He created a whole nation. Eventually enslaved by the mentally depraved, they cried out to the only One with the strength that He could save. He brought them out with signs and wonders satisfied their hunger. Then He appeared on Mount Sinai in thunder. Where He laid down the law for God-ruled government. Commonly referred to as the Mosaic covenant. Sin was imputed. So for man to know hes unrighteous, God instituted animal sacrifices. This was to show our constant need for atonement. And when it came to sin, the Lord would never condone it. And when His people disobeyed and went astray, He raised up prophets and kings to lead them in the way. But they would get foul with their idolatry—wet and wild prophecy—send them into exile. To take their punishment like a grown man. Then with His own hand He placed them back in their homeland. And while in their forefathers land they dwelt, they awaited the arrival of Emmanuel.

After 400 silent years filled with sighs and tears. In Bethlehem the Messiah appears. God in the flesh—Second Person of the Trinity. At thirty begins His earthly ministry. Baffling cats with accurate, exact facts and back-to-back miraculous acts. A stumbling block to the self righteous. But the humbled—His flock, said Theres no one else like this. He came from heaven to awake the numb. Demonstrated His power over nature, son. A foretaste of the Kingdom and the age to come. But the reason He came was to pay the sum for the depths of our wickedness, our wretched sinfulness. Bless His magnificence! He is perfect and innocent. Yet He was wrecked and His death. He predicted it. Next He was stretched, paid a debt that was infinite. He said that He finished it. Resurrected so the elect would be the recipients of its benefits. Through faith and penitence we get to be intimate. His grace is heaven sent, it never diminishes. Now the Holy Spirit indwelling is the evidence for heavens future residents who truly represent Jesus, the Author, Producer, Director, and Star of a story that will never, ever end!

Its the greatest story ever told.
A God pursues foes whose hearts turned cold.
The greatest story ever told.
Restoring all that the enemy stole.
The greatest story ever told.
The glory of Christ is the goal, behold.
The greatest story ever told.
Its the greatest.

im not saying that chrisianity isnt real or intended to describe the relation between man and god(the bible is a romance in a holly way), but im saying think and ask questions and dig into stuff before your so quik to follow something. religion was man written in a time of oppression for the jews. we have proof of existance way before the bible describes, christianity has changed always and always will(as with all religion) example... galileo invented the telescope and said jupiter has moons

[brouz777]

@mitchymoose i would say that the Bible is the only thing that makes sense out of human experience and this world we live in. The story of God hasn't changed at all... i would ask you - what specifically has changed about Christianity?

[sailentshadow]

@mitchymoose You will hear this from many people...

Christianity is NOT a religion. Granted, there are religious groups/people devout to Christ /Faith in Him (Christianity)... But it is NOT the same.

I dug deep. Deep into the science, our existence, our logic, and everyone's logic/point of view etc.

God is God. Jesus is no longer here in the flesh, He rose from the dead. Can't prove it? Well, you can't DISprove it. So, Faith is He is alive, and within all whom believe, that He is God's son.

[brouz777]

@sailentshadow thanks for the comments... and i would add that our faith isn't a blind faith, but a faith rooted in a truth that can be known!

[mitchymoose]

As an x Christian il say this: religion was created by man, use your brain and think earthlings. Aliens are real, some bad and some good. We have a greates race in space lol.

Ps: the bible never says we got to heaven, it says that heaven will come to earth. Its called the new jurusulim.

[brouz777]

@mitchymoose how do you know religion was created by man?

[fabitinkerbell85]

I love the song

[fabitinkerbell85]

Should make more viedos

[PopcornMawn]

Romans 1 clearly says they suppress the truth, they say there is no God. Take a look at a phone, that came by accident did it not? No? How come? Because of its attributes! How about DNA, that came by accident? Yep. Atheists have no excuse, if there truly was no God why do they keep arguing about it? If I don't believe something doesn't exist, I don't worry about it.

[KingsofComedy]

@sailentshadow Thats truth man, the apostles weren't crazy. Why would they die for something they knew was a lie.

[RookiesProduction]

for inform about having proof that there was something before the Bible says, God is able to create mature creation, could we test and get a tree older than 6-8thousand, well yea God created them mature, all creation was mature, Adam and Eve were not babies they were mature, so 1. Creation was a Mature Creation, Second all the scientific dating theories are flawed in some since, they are only accurate to a certain age, There is no TRUE science that contradicts with scripture in any way

[TH3KRACK3N]

@mitchymoose So, just going off your alien post, I want to know when you saw bad aliens and when you saw good aliens! Because your saying that there is no proof that god existed/exists, and yet your talking about aliens???

[Ibprius]

Check it, let's go back in time brethren, divine lessons, always keep your mind guessing, the glory of the triune God''s what I'm stressin...Jesus is the truth. All forms of dating the earth are based on a constant decay rate of one element or another...hence unprovable. Science has not disproved Creation...does this come as a surprise to Christians? Nope. Don't listen to people who claim science has disproved Christianity, they don't even understand the evidence against what they're saying...

[MrJioi]

@mitchymoose Dude. Why don't YOU think? What makes you think some old man made God up, just for a laugh? There's plenty of proof of God's miracles and his wrath.

[Phresh95]

Even me as the Christian I am, religion was made by man. It's actually really obvious. God never made religion. God said to EVERYONE, "I am the way, the truth and the life". So he didn't say. I'ma make all these religions and have people choose from them. Nope, he said that there's one way and its His way.!
